Officials expect the new technology – available in only one other airport in the Caribbean – to go a long way in slashing wait times, improving the airport’s efficiency and ultimately providing a more enjoyable experience for millions of visitors passing through the United States pre-clearance facility at LPIA.

An automated passport control (APC) system at Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport in The Bahamas officially went live on Monday, allowing US-bound travelers to be processed up to four times faster.

The new application delivers fast and safe access to detailed information in English, Spanish, French, German and Russian on all hotels run by the Spain-based chain on the island nation, as well as a GPS map of Cuba, photos, lodging blueprints, direct access to the social networks and media, web-oriented offers and up-to-the-minute news feeds about Meliá Cuba.
